The reason so many people turned up at his funeral is that they wanted to make sure he was dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man is known by his works. That I have heard at many a funeral.
The first funeral for Andrew Goodman was at night and it was a lot of work. To begin with they had to kill him.
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
In the city a funeral is just an interruption of traffic; in the country it is a form of popular entertainment.
There is something irresistibly funny about a funeral. More basically, I think the point is that beyond the deepest tragedy, there is laughter. Even in the midst of tragedy, there is always the possibility for it.
I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.
A funeral was a great form of entertainment. A wake was a great form of entertainment.
I just didn't want to admit that he was dead.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The death of a famous person is different from the death of a loved one, whether it is Michael Jackson, Frank McCourt, or Walter Cronkite. We didn't know any of them personally, and yet, we experience a sense of loss.
